Chris Upp

Glassblower Christopher Aaron Upp taps into his experiences with Hawaiian sea life to create pieces in incredible detail. Chris was born on Kauai and influenced by his ceramicist father. He now lives on the Big Island of Hawaii. Working with hard and soft glasses he creates both sculptures and commercial lighting.

“Natural colors and lifelike features are what I strive for in my attention to detail. Almost daily I’m in the water, surfing with turtles or swimming above the reef.”

Gallery Note:
